The YOU Plan – Thriving in the New Economy

When faced with challenge, successful people always find opportunity. The New Economy is no longer about chasing opportunities, it’s about creating opportunities! The YOU Plan workshop is about helping you learn how to take charge of your career by first looking inward and then creating a personalized plan!

The workshop is based on Dr. Woody’s VIPER model which comes from his book The YOU Plan. We each have our own unique compliment of strengths and ambitions, yet most of us never fully leverage them! The VIPER model is designed to guide you through the process of introspection and self-discovery by answering the following questions:

What are your Values?

What are your Intrinsics?

What are your Passions?

What is your Essence or brand?

What is your Roadmap?

Takeaways: You will walk away with a roadmap for living purposefully and achieving life-long career ambitions. Each participant will be provided with:

HCI Values assessment

YOU Plan Workbook

A personalized “Roadmap” for success

Just as The YOU Plan workshop, The YOU Brand workshop is based on the VIPER model derived from Dr. Woody’s book The YOU Plan. The purpose is to learn how to create a brand by looking inward and drawing out the essence of who you are!

Takeaways: You will walk away with a clear understanding of what your brand package is and how to take it to market. Each participant will be provided the following:
